It took the Bruins all of 48 hours to even up the Stanley Cup Final and chase Roberto Luongo with the Game 4 4-0 win in Boston...
All Thrashers fans have to do is look at Rich Peverley and Mark Recchi and think even deeper about what might have been...
Here's the beginning of the end where Alex Burrows, aka Public Enemy Number One, and Bruins goalie Tim Thomas go at it and start going at it even more with less than two minutes left...
The HQ will be more than happy to quote our ol' buddy JR...
Business is about to pick up...

Boston destroys Vancouver after Horton hit... ((UPDATED- Horton And Rome out for playoffs))
This got ugly. Brother Jon reported earlier on the hit by Canucks defenseman Aaron Rome that knocked Bruins winger Nathan Horton out cold.
It made the highly competitive series go from hard-played, to physical.
Boston, instead of cowering in fear, got mad. They annihilated Vancouver 8-1, though they still trail 2 games to 1 in their best of 7 series.
The game got a bit out of hand in the 3rd period with Boston up 4-0. 20 penalties and a fight, combined with 9, 10-minute misconducts. The ageless Mark Recchi had a couple of goals though most everyone chipped in for Boston in some way, shape or form.
The Bruins were also still stewing over Alex Burrows not getting in trouble for biting in game 1, then coming in and dominating game 2.
So far, both teams have held serve, game 4 is Wednesday night in Boston and if form holds, it should be a lot of fun to watch.

AM UPDATE: Horton is done for the playoffs... Rome is, too...
GM Peter Chiarelli announced on the Boston Bruins website that Horton was diagnosed with a severe concussion and would not return...
Vancouver's Aaron Rome had a disciplinary hearing with NHL VP of Operations Mike Murphy this morning and he was given a four-game suspension- taking him out of the playoffs as well...
From CBC Sports and FOSG Elliotte Friedman via Twitter...
The league ((translation: Mike Murphy)) is going to talk to both teams about all the taunting that went on in Game 3. Bruins head coach Claude Julien wasn't too keen on all the extra-curricular stuff. The HQ thought it was pretty funny ourselves...
Or quoting Murphy: "the crap, the garbage that is going on..."
ESPN's Pierre LeBrun also talked to Murphy:
Mike Murphy just told me that he's told both clubs the next player who does the finger wagging in a scrum gets 2 min plus 10-min misconduct

Cancuks beat Bruins in O.T, right after it started
Alex Burrows of Vancouver helped account for all 3-points, including the game winner just 11 seconds into overtime, leading the Canucks to a 3-2 win over the Boston Bruins Saturday night.
The win gives Vancouver at 2-0 lead in the best of 7, Stanley Cup Finals.
Burrows had a night to remember for sure. He scored on a power play in the first period, assisted on Daniel Sedin's goal to tie the game in the second period. And then there was the winner. He ended up with the puck right off the faceoff, circled the goal and stuffed the puck home before Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas could get near it.
Game 3 is in Boston, Monday night. A game the Bruins must win or, well, this so-called "Dramatic" series, won't be so dramatic.

Burrows Enjoying In-Game Meal During Stanley Cup Finals... ((UPDATED: No Suspension))
((HT: NHL on NBC))
To say the Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals has been a chippy one is a bit of an understatement... face washes, cross-checks, and two high-sticking on Zdeno Chara's face are just the beginning...
The HQ thinks we'll be here a while...
Alexandre Burrows may not after this...
((HT: PuckDaddy))
Our guess is that there will be a one-game suspension from NHL League Minster of Defence pro tem Mike Murphy...
At least... silly play at a bad time...
OFF DAY UPDATE: Burrows is not suspended...
"After reviewing the incident, including speaking with the on-ice officials, I can find no conclusive evidence that Alex Burrows intentionally bit the finger of Patrice Bergeron," Mike Murphy said in a statement.
Burrows denied biting Bergeron...
"I don't mind rough play and scrums at the end, as long as it's just pushing and shoving and all that," Bergeron said following the game. "But biting? I mean come on."
This should go over well for Game 2...

Alain Vigneault Does Not Like Ron McLean
((HT: Youtube/CanucksHD))
Remember the excahnge we ran earlier this week where Vancouver Canucks winger Alex Burrows went off on NHL official Stephane Auger...??? Auger was making up for, what he thought, was a spot where he was shown up by Burrows against Nashville about a month ago...
The end result was that Burrows got fined by the league and Auger came out clean...
Fast forward to pre-game on CBC's "Hockey Night in Canada" Saturday night, and host Ron McLean and the league's Colin Campbell had a discussion about the issue bringing in the issue of Burrows' past of a pest...
When AV caught wind of it, he let McLean have it with both barrels on the "After Hours" program...
Here's the exchange among Vigneault, Glenn Healy, and Scott Oake...
The magic happens about 2:25 in...

Alex Burrows Is Pissed At Stephane Auger
((HT: nhl.canucks.com/TSN))
Some background...
Over a month ago, Nashville beat Vancouver 4-2. Late in the game, the Preds Jerred Smithson takes a run at Burrows, gets a charging major and a misconduct. After the game, the league reviewed the tape and took the game misconduct off the books since (the league thought) Burrows embellished.
Stephane Auger was the ref for that game...
Last night, Burrows said an official came up to him in warm-ups as seen here...
((HT: Rogers Sportsnet West/Canucks HD))
And said: "The ref came over to me and said I made him look bad in Nashville on the Smithson hit. He said he was was going to get me back tonight and he did his job in third, I think."
In that third period, Burrows was assessed two questionable penalties by Auger. The Predators scored the game-winner on that second power play.
Here's Burrows postgame calling out Auger...
Cool stuff...
((HT: Vancouver Canucks))
The Vancouver Sun newspaper ((Brad Ziemer's work on the story is here)) now says that the NHL office and Director of Hockey Operations Colin Campbell are now investigating what went down...
Now, as is the case with all officials and/or players, the official's association ((fancy word for "union")) will have to defend Auger regardless as to what happened and until that moment of finding out the truth...
The HQ thinks players will feel the whistle-based wrath of the zebras-in-arms on the ice and will have to deal with it on the ice until we know what, if anything, Auger actually did. But Burrows has too much in his corner at present...
Circumstantial evidence points to Auger and a big boo-boo...

Canucks Burrows Facing Misconduct Allegations
((HT: TSN/RDS))Vancouver Canucks forward Alex Burrows ((pictured, thanks Getty Images file)) could be facing charges stemming from an on-ice incident in a Montreal summer hockey league game.
According to a report on RDS.ca, an investigation is underway in response to a complaint filed on July 21 that states Burrows violently struck the face of a goaltender with his stick during a game at the Excellent Ice Arena in Kirkland, Que.
The report said the family of the goaltender, 19-year old Koray Celik, would not comment about the incident on the advice of lawyers.
"Police went to the arena, but there are no charges right now," Burrows' agent Paul Corbeil told The Globe and Mail. "[Police arrived] because some people called the police. They spoke with Alex but nothing more than that."
The summer league, also known as the PHL (Pond Hockey League), is described by Corbeil as a summertime circuit for professional, minor pro and college players.
Canucks assistant GM Laurence Gilman told The Globe that the team was "gathering all the facts" but would make no further comment.
Burrows signed a four-year contract extension with the Canucks in March, which will pay him $2 million per season. The 27-year-old set new career highs with 28 goals, 51 points and 150 penalty minutes in his 2008-09 campaign.

Blues and Canucks: The Backes Story
((HT: CBC))
From Mark Spector at Sportsnet:
We now know a little more about the feuding between the St. Louis Blues and the Vancouver Canucks and it has to do with some words exchanged after Game One.
The Canucks Ryan Kesler and Alex Burrows went after the Blues David Backes and his wife, Kelly...
Spector continues:
Backes said he has no past with either of the two, and has no idea how they would even know his wife's name. [It's in the Blues media guide.]
"They just have better researchers than I do," he shrugged. "There was a guy who got suspended for a couple of games [for talking about someone else's significant other], wasn't there?"
"Hey, my wife is a strong woman. She can take it," Backes said. "She's pretty attractive -- I'm pretty proud of what I landed there. I'm over-achieving."
As wrestling announcer Jim Ross is fond of saying: "Business is about to pick up."
And now we know why, especially as the series heads to St. Louis for Game 3.
